Steamroller FX still kept on wrap! Wait for 16C Steamroller Opteron roadmaps for 2014/2015 . FX is based on these and they are typically released together. It will be released around the same time the Excavator APU in 2015 or around 6-8 months after haswell is replaced with 14nm Broadwell desktop CPUs in 2H.

Nope NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! AMD is the first causality of the new era of computing. And Intel Broadwell will STILL cream Excavator SIX WAYS TO SUNDAY!!!! I can't say I like Intel but I will always build PC's with them because AMD just so far behind that its not practical to use their CPU's in Custom PC's.

Remember Broadwell is only a 10% bump at most in IPC and more significant power reduction (intel's focus) as was Haswell over Ivy. Excavator will jump another 30% above Steamroller in IPC and lowering TDP by roughly 30%. AMD catching up in IPC! The numbers are already out for mobile! Mobile Kaveri at significantly lower clocks performs 20% better than richland in CPU tests! As was leaked, steamroller has ~20-30% IPC and on average 25% increase in IPC over Piledriver!

Yep and that's why Intel Isn't completely SCREWED like AMD IS. Intel is too late but at least they learned their lesson where as AMD has NOT and is ready to chopped INTO PIECES!!!! Mobile Kaveri is going to suck EVEN more than Desktop Kaveri which BY THE WAY missed power and performance targets up the wazoo. Kaveri has reduced clock speeds to keep power usage in check.
